You are in my Thoughts

Hi everyone. Yesterday my dear sweet blogging friend, Karen of Serendipity Dragonfly, passed away. We met about four years ago when we both joined the design team for the newly formed Addicted to CAS challenge. Even after Karen left the team a few years ago, we always stayed in touch.

Karen was a very generous, caring, loving individual who always had something positive to say. Even during her illness, her emails were always upbeat. The news of her passing was a shock to me.

I made this card to send to her family. Grief is such a personal experience and so I rarely post sympathy cards that I've made. But since I knew Karen through on-line card making and know that several of you are also feeling the loss, I thought I'd share my card.

My heart goes out to her husband and family, including her dear sister, Val. My deepest sympathy to all who knew and loved Karen.

Loll Your card is perfect for such a sad occasion ...I've known Karen for around 13/14 years we ran our craft club together she was so talented not just in card making ...I was hoping to see her Tuesday afternoon but sadly that didn't happen.....I will miss her....and so will blogland

My Dear Loll,I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend. Death always surprises us and throws it knees.Your card is beautiful. Definitely it like Karen, is sure to bring solace family mired in pain.Hugs,BozenA

Such a beautiful card, Loll... I'm sure the family will appreciate the time you spent on it. It looks as though you poured in a lot of love and a lot of yourself into this very touching, very peaceful looking design. It really is so sad but so beautiful to look at.Take good care of yourself, Loll. X

Oh, Loll, I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for openly sharing. I have found the card-making community to be loving and kind people and that shows in the thoughts you shared. Your beautiful card sends your soft, loving message so well.

So sorry to hear about the loss of a dear on-line friend, who was also a past member of our Christmas Card Club, in addition to be such a creative cardmaker. Your card is lovely, such a sweet image, beautifully colored, and will be welcomed by Karen's family, I am sure. So pleased you shared it here. Hugs, and Happy Easter.

I am so sorry for your loss Loll. It's hard to lose friends and loved ones. Even more harder to make sense of it all. I'm sure this beautiful sympathy card will be cherished by her family. Especially since Karen was a card maker herself. Sad news, will keep all in my prayers. Hugs, Brenda
